The ultrasonic testing of anisotropic austenitic steel welds is a commonly used method in nondestructive testing. Nevertheless, it is often a problem to analyze the received signals in a satisfactory way. Computer simulation of ultrasonics has turned out to be a very helpful tool to gather information and to improve the physical understanding of complicated wave phenomena inside the samples. 

Another helpful tool is a project control chart, which uses budget and schedule plans in a quick status report of the project. It compares actual to plan, calculates a variance on each task completed, and tallies a cumulative variance for the project. 

Vesna Ferk Savec is an Assistant Professor and Researcher in chemical education at the Urriversity of Ljubljana, Sloverria. She took a BSc and MSc in chemistry and a Ph.D. in chemical education, all at the Urriversity of Ljubljarra. Her current research interests are in the evaluation of methods for teaching and learrring science, including the usefulness of help-tools and associated teaching materials. 

Enzymatic degradation of pectin can be satisfactory performed in UF-membrane reactors which have been proved to be helpful tool for laboratory scale investigations. Reaction products can be continuously recovered in a sequence of filtration stages. The obtained product distribution depends on the enzyme to substrate ratio, which affects particularly the... 

A very helpful tool for manual application can be the employment of layers with a concentrating zone. The so-called concentrating or preadsorbent zone is a small part of the plate that is covered with an inert but highly porous adsorbent such as diatomaceous earth. Various precoated preparative layers with a preadsorbent zone are commercially available. The effect of the concentrating zone is depicted elsewhere in detail (see Chapter 3, Figure 3.4). In brief, the preadsorbent zone serves as a platform for manual application of any desired performance quality. When development starts, soluble components migrate with the mobile phase front and are... 

The success of therapy is measured by the degree to which the care plan decreases the pretreatment deterioration rate, preserves the patients functioning, and treats psychiatric and behavioral symptoms. The primary outcome measure is thus subjective information from the patient and the caregiver, although the MMSE can be a helpful tool for monitoring changes in the severity of illness. There are no physical examination or laboratory parameters that are used to evaluate the success of therapy. 

Methods of variance analysis are helpful tools to evaluate effects of factors on the results of experiments afterwards. On the other hand, it may be advantageous to plan experiments in a comparative way (comparative experiments). 

Neural networks are helpful tools for chemists, with a high classification and interpretation capacity. ANNs can improve and supplement data arrangements obtained by common multivariate methods of data analysis as shown by an example of classification of wine (Li-Xian Sun et al. [1997]). 

In contrast to quantitative analyses, the results of qualitative tests and of identifications cannot be evaluated by means of mathematical statistics. Instead, information theory is a helpful tool to characterize qualitative analyses, in particular in case of multicomponent systems. 

Even if the number of proteins present in the map is low, the method provides a helpful tool to estimate m values with good accuracy—expressed as the relative error of the estimated m vs. real m values, s%—and precision—as relative standard deviation CV% on 50 runs—in particular, if the division procedure into variable number of strips is used (Pietrogrande et al., 2002). 

It must be emphasized that the availability of the SMO and 2D autocovariance function methods as two independent statistical procedures to estimate the same parameter, in, the number of proteins, is a helpful tool to verify the reliability of the results obtained. In the case of the 2D PAGE map of colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (DL-1) an excellent agreement was found between the values obtained from the SMO method—m = 101 10 and m = 105 10—and the 2D autocovariance function procedure—m = 104 10 (Pietrogrande et al., 2006a). 

Modeling of pore diffusion phenomena can be a helpful tool mainly in terms of catalyst design considerations but also in terms of understanding the effects caused by diffusional restrictions. For example, a modeling study by Wang et al.7 demonstrated a negative impact on selectivity by particle diffusion limitations. 

Although annotated bibliographies, historiographies, and abstracts are not always requested, they are extremely helpful tools and important elements for a writer, an instructor, and above all, a reader. Annotated bibliographies provide a truthful listing of your sources by detailing whether they are helpful and why. 

A historiography, on the other hand, does not examine each book individually but instead, looks at a body of work and assesses how many books examine and interpret a particular topic or issue. This allows your reader to be aware of particular trends and interpretations that were popular during different eras. Finally, an abstract provides a succinct and precise summary of your entire paper at the beginning so that a reader knows exactly what you plan to discuss and the conclusions that you have drawn from all your research. Written professionally and thoroughly, they function as extremely helpful tools and valuable resources for your reader. 

Routine genotoxicity tests are not designed in order to derive no-effect levels. However, the magnitude of the lowest dose with an observed effect (i.e., the LOEL) may, on certain occasions, be a helpful tool in the hazard assessment. Specifically, it can give an indication of the potency of the test substance. Modified studies, with additional dose levels and improved statistical power may be useful in this regard. 

The intermediate may be trapped by other nucleophiles (different from water) and diverse products may be obtained. The interception of the intermediate may occur inter- or intra-moleculary, the latter providing a helpful tool to produce a new ring system (Scheme 9, pathway 2). These reactions are sometimes referred to, respectively, as Beckmann rearrangement-addition and Beckmann rearrangement-cyclization reactions. 

Affinity capillary electrophoresis can be a very helpful tool in two of the most fascinating fields of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics controlled drug delivery and drug targeting. 

Many laboratories maintain the master schedule on computer, and find it a helpful tool for the allocation of resources and the scheduling of work. A computerized master schedule can also provide the index of archive materials required by 58.190(e) of the regulations. 

Summarizing the results obtained for neutral atoms and positive and negative ions we can conclude that Strutinsky s shell-correction procedure in the EKS-DFT scheme is a helpful tool for investigating such important properties for the chemistry of atomic systems as the ionization potential,... 

A phenol synthesis reaction induced by gold catalysts without steric limitations for the substituents was also reported [169]. These results provided a very helpful tool for organic synthesis of a large variety of derivatives such as biaryls, iso-chromanes, benzofurans, tetrahydroisoquinolines and other natural products [133, 170, 171].
